With Emuparadise and ISOzone gone, what places are left to download ROMs? I don't want to download sets because it makes me download games I don't want and they will never have some obscure games in them that I do want.

Shit could have been so much easier if they just hosted a magnet link to a fullset then users download selected files from said set, so if they get in trouble just stop hosting the magnet, but noooo, everything needs to be direct downloads and on the surface web to boot with normies posting on face book and instagram about the games they pirated, what could possibly go wrong with that model.

There's already loads of full set torrent magnets out there. Most gamers are just too low functioning to grasp the concept of opening a file with an app to download another file. They need to be treated like a sub in a BDSM scene like most video games do.

Then download them individually? You do realize you don't have to download everything in a set and you can choose the files you want individually if you're using torrents, right?

> ... they will never have some obscure games in them that I do want

There are plenty more fish in the sea. If one site doesn't have that 'obscure' game, another most likely will. It might not be the same quality but beggers can't be choosers. Besides, who cares if it's obscure or not, just get what you're interested in and do some research in what you'd like to play and what not. It's not like it takes years of university studies to find that out you know.

Second, I've just searched some PS2 games I've downloaded from emuparadise, and they don't have them (Eternal Ring, Evergrace, Rune - Viking Warlord, Hungry Ghosts). As I said it's getting hard to get anything that is not Mario\Sonic\Final Fantasy level of popularity.

Rune_Viking_Warlord_USA_PS2-KALISTO.rar
Hungry_Ghosts_Jap_Ps2Dvd-ORGASM.rar

These are all on romtohome. Evergrace is there too but only the French version. cdromance just has Hungry Ghosts. These aren't the only sites around. There are several communities dedicated to collecting and sharing this kind of content.
